Thought i noticed a decent sized exhaust leak this morning so I popped the hood to find that three out of the four nuts that secure the downpipe to the turbo had come loose and fallen off. So I said to myself "Great the gasket is probably Fuch'd"

Well, I put new nuts on and the gasket seems to be sealing like it should. Cant hear any leaks.


All in all it was an easy cheap fix, but hey it's only Thursday..... something else could break or fall off by the end of the weekend.

Where did you find titanium nuts?

Adam Mowafy

Dealer items. I have to order some. These are just regular nuts for now.

Most likely you have a toasted RS motor mount, trans wing and or exhaust hangers. Most likely RS motor mount is trashed. BTDT more times than I care to count. BTW RussB, Porsche sells those Ti nuts much cheaper than audi.
